I have not finished watching ROCH 06, but from other experts on the forum, this adaption follows the 2nd and 3rd editions of the novel. So basically, you have a mixture of details from 2 editions. It can be somewhat confusing since information are mixed together like that. I think it would have been better to pick one edition and follow that rather than jumping back and forth. Oh well, the series already has enough problems with bad editing and overacting, so I guess it doesn't really matter too much which edition it follows.

Lu er's mother

The channel that I'm watching is up to the episode where YG and Lu er found her mother in the cave. That seemed to follow the book, even to the description of the mother. ... So the translations are as good as guides so far.

Yang Guo and XLN are wandering thru the forest, shoulder to shoulder. They are expressing their thoughts to one another, wishing to wander like this for the rest of their days with no worry in the world being happy with one another. Yang Guo express to XLN that he does not want to kill Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Instead of spending his remaining days fighting and quarelling, he rather spend it alone with XLN.

They sit in silence by a lake. Yang Guo expresses how beautiful the scenery is. XLN starts crying again. Yang Guo ask her why. XLN tells him 18 days is too short. She wants to spend 100 years, 1000 years, 10000 years with him. XLN ask why is heaven so cruel to them. Yang Guo counters saying that he is grateful heaven grants them 18 days together.

Golden Wheel Monk ask them if they are unhappy that he is the No 1 warrior in Mongolia, they can attack him all at once to gain the title. However, a messenger arrive from the prince telling them to return to camp so that they can get ready to attack Xiang Yang the next day. Golden Wheel Monk calls to Yang Guo telling him to come back to camp, since Guo Jing and Huang Rong is there at Xiang Yang.

Guo Jing responds by telling them to practice hard and with no reinforcement from the Imperial capital anywhere in sight, they will have plenty of changes to fight. Guo Fu also ask if she can fight in the battle. Guo Jing ask her why would she want to do a thing like that. He ask her what would her mother do if she went. Guo Fu insist she wants to go. Guo Jing responds by telling the 3 they need to practice their martial arts well and then he walks off. The 3 are happy with the answers they are given and run off to practice their martial arts.

Huang Rong is sewing a new cap for the baby she is expecting. Guo Jing walks in and Huang Rong ask him the status of the situation outside at Xiang Yang. Guo Jing tells her the Mongolain have set up camp outside the city ready to attack. The general have sent 3 urgent petitions to the imperial court asking for reinforcement but no response have been given. Huang Rong laments that with her pregnancy she is of no help to him. She laments that their 3 disciples are of no help to Guo Jing as well, and that the only person who might be able to help Guo Jing is Yang Guo but he is not here. Guo Jing mentions how unhappy of a life Yang Guo have had, and that other than wanting to marry his teacher, Yang Guo have done no wrong. Guo Jing tells Huang Rong that he should not have berated Yang Guo in public like that. Huang Rong tells him not to worry about it and that when Yang Guo grows older, YG will understand GJ's good intentions. Huang Rong change topic and ask Guo Jing what will the baby's name be. Guo Jing thinks about it and tell her if it's a boy, his name will be Po Lu (Po as in breakthru and Lu as in defeat) and if it's a girl, her name will be Xiang (based on the city they are defending). Huang Rong is pleased with the name he have chosen.

At the Mongolian camp, Yang Guo is sharpening his knife. XLN expresses her concern that they are no match for Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Yang Guo tells her not to worry. They leave fior Xiang Yang together.

Yang Guo and XLN rides up to Xiang Yang late at night and ask the sentry on top to let them in. He is here to see Hero Guo. One of the Wu brothers respond and gave the order to lower the drawbridge to let Yang Guo and XLN into the city.

Yang Guo and XLN are escorted by the Wu brothers to Guo Jing. Guo Jing is happy to see the 2 of them, telling them that Xiang Yang is lucky to have their helps in these days of crisis. Guo Jing informs them that Huang Rong is expecting within the next few days and that there is no need for Yang Guo to observe the formality of greeting her. Guo Jing escorts the 2 of them to his private quarters to dine with them.

The scholar of Dali also dine with them and expresses his thanks to Yang Guo for defeating Huo Dou at Lu Manor. Yang Guo say it was just a coincidence and that he should not mentioned it. Guo Jing sends Guo Fu in to thank Yang Guo for saving her life. Guo Fu is slow to respond and Guo Jing is annoyed at her. Yang Guo responds by saying they are family there are no needs for this sort of formality. Guo Jing beams at Yang Guo for his generosity.

Dinner is over, and Guo Jing tells Yang Guo that they will spend the night in the same room so that they can discuss important things. Guo Fu escorts XLN to a separate room.

In the room, Guo Jing ask him what happen to him after he was injured. Yang Guo summarizes and tell him that he was rescued by Cheng Ying and was given pointers by Peach Blossom Island Master, Huang Yaoshi. He then say he remet his teacher and hear that Xiang Yang was under attack, so they decided to come here and help out. Guo Jing is happy that Yang Guo have such national pride and is willing to come to their empire's help.

Dali Scholar comes to Huang Rong's room to discuss something important with her.

Guo Jing compliments Yang Guo, and tells him he looks forward to when he is a world renown hero. Guo Jing tells him to remember everything that he tells him tonight. Yang Guo is conflicted with his various memories. Yang Guo ask GJ who killed his father. GJ tells him his father died a horrible death but no one kill his dad. His dad was kill by his own hand. He explains that they were blood brothers and so were their grandfathers. He will tell the whole story when they have finish beating the Mongolians.

Huang Rong from outside calls out to Guo Jing and wants to talk to him privately. Guo JIng leaves the room to talk to his wife. Huang Rong express her concern that Yang Guo is not acting normal and that his facial expression is not correct. She ask her husband to be careful of Yang Guo. Guo Jing say do not overly worry about Yang Guo since he trust YG. Huang Rong insists he must be extra careful. Guo Jing goes back to the room and find YG asleep. He then sleeps next to YG. YG opens his eyes and in his hand he have his little knife. He attempts to kill Guo JIng. Guo Jing stops him and think that Yang Guo is suffering from not practicing his martial arts correctly and tell him he will help fix his internal energy up. Guo Jing was scratched by the sword. He spends the rest of the night trying to help Yang Guo. Yang Guo expresses his thanks.

The next day, Yang Guo and Guo Jing is riding on horseback touring the city defenses. Yang Guo ask Guo Jing not to tell Huang Rong about the incident. Guo Jing agrees. Guo Jing gives a speech to the troops to boost up their morale. They ride outside of the city. Guo Jing explains to Yang Guo about protecting the country and it's people. That if a man can protect his country and the common people who live there, he is a real hero and a real man.

The Mongolians are attacking Xiang Yang. They are chasing the commoners of the Song Empire in front of them. The general wants to let loose the arrows and not save the people. Guo Jing insist to rescue them, and lead a contingent of volunteer warriors and troop to go rescue them. Guo Jing fights against the Mongolians in hand to hand combat. He is able to save some of the people, but he is left stuck outside. Dali Scholar throws a rope down so that Guo Jing can scale the fortress walls of Xiang Yang. But Golden Wheel Monk shoots an arrow and cut the rope. Guo JIng uses his martial arts to scale the wall but another arrow stopped him before he finishes and he began falling down. His efforts wasted. Yang Guo stares down at Guo Jing falling with conflicted emotions and is unsure of what to do.

Yang Guo realizes that when Lu Wu Shuang get angry it reminded him of Xiao Long Nu, so he secretly rescue her by thrown projectiles at them. He acts dumb and harasses Lu Wu Shuang.

The beggars and Quanzhen priest walk into town and encounter Li Mo Chou and she gives them a beating.

In the cave, Yang Guo acts dumb and continue to harass Lu Wu Shuang. Lu Wu Shuang calls Yang Guo, Sha Dan (dumb egg). Lu Wu Shuang is injured around her chest area and Yang Guo attempts to set her bone with his eyes close. He successfully does so.

Xiao Long Nu wanders the martial arts world aimlessly lost in her memory of Yang Guo. She takes the food away and do not even pay. She doesn’t even understand the concept of money. The owner demands money but she doesn’t have any so she returns it. She flies away from there and the people think she is a fairy from heaven and got down on their knees.

Yang Guo and Lu Wu Shuang are on horses riding into town witnessing a marriage procession. Yang Guo messes up the wedding procession. Li Mo Chou appears. Yang Guo is now dressed as the groom and turn his face from her. Li Mo Chou’s disciple questions him but he hides his face from her. However, Li Mo Chou grows suspicious and decide to double check the marriage procession. But a bunch of beggar clan members shows up and try to stop her. A big fight begins. Yang Guo rides away while she’s distracted.

Lu Wu Shuang shares a room with Yang Guo for the night. Yang Guo is shown sleeping on a rope.
Lu Wu Shuang shows her surprise. Then they hear and see Li Mo Chou arriving. The 2 hide underneath the bed. Li Mo Chou opens up all the room in the hotel searching for them with one sweep of her whisk. Yang Guo and Lu Wu Shuang changes clothes and pretend to be Quanzhen priests. The ruse works and Li Mo Chou leaves the hotel.

Yang Guo starts thinking of Xiao Long Nu and gets depressed.

Xiao Long Nu is walking in the countryside thinking of Yang Guo.

Yang Guo and Lu Wu Shuang is leaving town on their horses. They ride past some Mongolian soldiers and Yang Guo gets an idea. Yang Guo sneaks into the Mongolian place and basically threaten and then ask to join his entourage as a way to hide from Li Mo Chou.

Xiao Long Nu is wandering thru town and runs into Li Mo Chou. Li Mo Chou and Xiao Long Nu have another fight among a series of umbrella near the waterfall. There is no clear winner. Xiao Long Nu flies off.

Xiao Long Nu continues her wandering thru town asking random people if they have seen Yang Guol, but no one knows who Yang Guo is. A townsman claim to know who Yang Guo is, but he leads her to his master. They stared lecherously at her. She tells him she is looking for Yang Guo. They try to keep her there and the master try to rape her and she beat him and his servants up and leaves.

The Mongolian nobleman, Yelu Chu Cai, is talking to his 2 children when a young lady flies in and attack him. Yang Guo and Lu Wu Shuang watches from the side. Lu Wu Shuang is dressed like a Mongolian. The young lady attacking was a former member of the Jin empire and Yelu Chu Cai had killed her parents years ago. Her name is Wanyan Ping. Her attempt failed when Yelu Qi defeated her. She attempt to suicide but Yelu Qi stopped her. He tells her to give attacking his father and that he will take up the debt his father owe her. The next time she attack he will not use his left hand. If she succeeds in doing this, he will take whatever punishment she ask.

She leaves and Yang Guo follows because her eyes reminded him of Xiao Long Nu. He stops her and claim he can beat her with no hands. They fight and he succeeds. She wish for him to be her master but Yang Guo refused. He show her how to defeat Yelu Qi by forcing Yelu Qi to use both his hand basically with her attempting suicide in front of Yelu Qi.

Yelu Qi is thinking lovingly of Wanyan Ping when she knocks on his room and asks for a rematch. He quickly hides the portrait of her that he was drawing and answer the door.
Wanyan Ping fights Yelu Qi and loses her sword to him. He offers her sword back to her and she takes it and attempt to suicide.

I don't get the marriage scene. Li Mo Chu saw Yang Guo before... shouldn't be be suprised or anything? But she looked like she didn't even know him. And where was Lu Wu Shang hiding? It just showed a little bit of her white shoe but it didn't show where she was hiding LOL. And I love the thought of Yelu Qi and Wanyan Ping as a couple, they would have great chemistry if they were.... but I heard he later on gets with Guo Fu, and Wanyan Ping later on gets with one of the Wu brothers:s.
